My Hero Academia Manga Goes on Hiatus as It Enters Final Arc, Fans Concerned About Author’s Health

The My Hero Academia manga by author and illustrator Kohei Horikoshi is entering its final arc. However, fans have been experiencing frequent interruptions in the form of breaks and concerns have been raised about the author’s health.

This is because the series will once again go on a one-week break in the subsequent issue of Weekly Shonen Jump. This means that chapter 390 will be released on June 5, while chapter 391 won’t be available until the June 12 issue. Horikoshi himself apologised for the delay and expressed his determination to “push through to the end” for the final arc and the series as a whole.

Many fans have expressed their desire for the series to take a long-term hiatus instead of numerous short breaks. They believe that this would give Horikoshi the necessary time to heal his body and fully develop the story.

“My Hero Academia” by Kohei Horikoshi will be on break again in Weekly Shounen Jump issue 28/2023 out June 12.

Though the fandom should be hyped as the series would reach its climax without any further breaks, many are concerned about Horikoshi’s health and the interruptions caused by these breaks.

tbh i really hope he can just take a break for a while cuz it seems like hes pushing himself too much and its actively hurting him https://t.co/R4HYCMw6QL

With the release of My Hero Academia volume 38 this month in Japan, readers have been given a glimpse of what’s to come. The volume’s teaser suggests that Horikoshi is nearing his end game, and we will get to see the conclusion of many ongoing battles.

The teaser reads, “Next volume! The story will reach its final stage. It’s time to conclude many battles! Look forward to it!” This announcement confirms that by the time volume 39 is released, the manga will be in its final stage. The recent chapters leading up to this point have already showcased the intensifying pace of the story, with battles like Shoto vs Dabi taking prominence.
